About to watch this...what did you think about it? I'll let you know my opinion after I watch it. Seems like a good movie with great reviews.

What did you think?

Went to rent this last night, but it was gone. I really want to see this. Looks great.

If you like docs, try "King of Kong", "Murderball", "Young at Heart", and "Gonzo" (about Hunter Thompson). Those are a few that have come out over the last few years that I have enjoyed.

great movie. I knew little to nothing about the actual event as I wasn't born until years later.

They set the movie up to give it a bank heist kind of feel. It gets very suspenseful culminating with the finale...which the pictures and video of are stunning. Just imagining this guy doing this made me awestruck.

I enjoyed it a lot.

Ditto. I was impressed with all the actual video they had of the event.

Yea I though it was really good. I'd definitely recommend it to those that enjoy documentaries. We had a discussion at work today about how much someone would have to pay us to walk that rope. That's fricking insane!

It was good to hear about everything that went into planning for the event from those that were there. Very good movie.

Watched it last night. Very cool. On top of the actual event in question, I simply enjoyed seeing all the footage of the intact WTC Towers. I still can't believe those motherfricking mutlins took them down.
